My Thomas Andre/Sung Jin-Woo Solo Leveling Fanart for Fic:

SCAVENGERS By Nowandforevermore

Moving from Seoul to the gritty slums of Los Angeles, the Sung family searches for a cure for Kyung-Hye’s mysterious illness amidst their harsh new reality.

weekly fic roundup

I’m an even more avid fic reader than writer, so trying to share some of the fics I’ve enjoyed this past week. mostly long fic.

ASOIAF & Solo Leveling

Breaking News: Westeros Lord Marries Stranger? What You Read Will Shock You! — tywin lannister/sung jin-woo wip

A story where Sung Jinwoo is a S rank hunter who's still busy clearing gates on Earth and taking care of his sister but has also (accidentally and unknowingly) gotten himself engaged to a certain blonde lord on another planet.

BNHA

Oracle — midoriya izuku/shinsou hitoshi wip

In which Izuku's quirk allows him to remember his past life and it becomes his driving force to become a hero and mend the mistakes of the people from his past.

Dragon Age

Someone Else — gen (so far) wip

Canon takes a brick in the face by the name of Carver Hawke.

Or: The “modern character in Thedas” trope done a liiiittle differently. Maker have mercy on us all.

Or: I can’t find a fic where the transmigrated modern character in Thedas actually massively changes canon from DAO to DAI, so I write it myself.

MDZS 江山如有待 | It Seems the Hills and Rivers Have Been Waiting — jiang cheng/ofc wip

Fan Dingxiang cultivates the swole path. Jiang Cheng doesn't know how to handle that.

pine branches swaying in time — jiang cheng/multi wip

The second time Jiang Cheng lives, he is not born as the sect heir.

The Sandman

Giving Sanctuary — dream/hob gadling wip

In 1689, Hob Gadling and Dream meet once more, after Hob has lost everything. That night, their meeting goes on longer than expected when the conversation turns to what it means to live, to lose, and to be the fathers of dead sons. Unable to bear the thought of sending a man who so echoes Dream's own grief back into the night alone, Dream breaks his own rule and invites Hob to stay with him for a time, at least until he can get back on his feet.

The story of two grief-stricken, divorced, and widowed fathers to sons they lost too young truly seeing one another and there, at their lowest point, doing their best to put themselves and each other back together.

Stranger Things

Chronomancy for Beginners — steddie wip

Bleeding out in Dustin’s arms, Eddie’s more or less made peace with the fact he’s dying. The last thing he expects is to wake up in his seventeen-year-old body on the day Will Byers goes missing. If this is real and Eddie hasn’t had a total psychotic break, maybe he can prevent a whole bunch of bad shit from happening.

Too bad no one took the time to fill Eddie in on the finer details of what the fuck’s been going on in Hawkins since November 1983.

Also, 1983 Steve Harrington kind of sucks.

The Witcher

The End Is Where We Start — duny/pavetta wip

Ciri can't accept defeat, so she gives herself a second chance in the way that only Ciri could.

Everyone else is just trying to keep up.

Han/Leia Appreciation Week 2024

WE'RE BACK, BABY! "Wait, what's happening, wasn't this in August??" you might wonder. Based on your feedback, we decided to host this and (probably) future editions of Han/Leia Appreciation Week earlier in the year. July seemed like the better choice, given that it's a vacation period in both hemispheres!

This year we're also giving you the prompts over a month in advance, so you have plenty of time to plan and create!

Han/Leia Appreciation Week was an event originally hosted at @han-leia-solo between 2016-2019, but for the past three years, we've taken up the mantle here at @hanleiacelebration 😊

💖 How does Han/Leia Appreciation Week work?

The event will run from July 14th to July 20th, and there will be two different prompts each day that creators can fulfill with: fanfic, fanart, gifsets, graphics, fanvids, headcanons, crafts, playlists, rec lists. You’re encouraged to tag your posts with #hanleiaweek2024 so we can reblog them! After the week is over, we’ll share a masterlist with links to the works.

You can show your appreciation in many ways; however, please keep in mind that it has to be a creation of yours of some sort, e.g. don’t repost other people’s fanart, gifs, or unedited pictures. Rec lists should include a link to the original source both for fanfic and fanart (more on this after the cut).

🎆 The prompts

Sunday 7/14: Tradition / Ceremony

Monday 7/15: Braids & Bloodstripes (hair or clothing) / Home planet

Tuesday 7/16: AU / Canon divergence

Wednesday 7/17: Force / Belief

Thursday 7/18: Favorite scene / Favorite quote

Friday 7/19: Meeting / Escape

Saturday 7/20: Free day!

You can use only one of the daily prompts, combine both, reinterpret them, or skip the day if you can’t think of anything. If you’re not able to post on the same day for a prompt, you’re still encouraged to share it through the week—just don’t post works for a certain prompt before the day corresponding to that prompt.

💠 💠 💠

FAQs and Rules under the cut - please read!

💕 Can I post my work to another site and share the link on Tumblr?

Yes! This is a good option for people who might want to create explicit art that could be taken down on Tumblr, write a long fic or multichapter, or make videos or playlists.

💕 Does it have to be a new creation? Can I finish and post a WIP?

It has to be something that has never been posted anywhere else before, so finishing and sharing a WIP is okay! If it doesn’t fit any of the prompts, you can share it on Free Day.

💕 Is this event open to all ratings?

Yes! Just remember to use a “Read more” cut if you’re posting the whole work on Tumblr, and to add a note at the top if your work is rated Mature or Explicit, as well as if it has any major trigger warnings, so all folks can safely browse through the entries.

💕 Are there any length or quality requirements?

There’s no min. or max. length for fanfic or quality level for art, but please note that AI-generated works won’t be accepted. For gifsets, there’s a minimum of two gifs (that must be made by you!). For playlists, there’s a minimum of five songs. For rec lists of fic or fanart, there’s also a minimum of five recs. Some more questions you might have about rec lists:

- How do I share someone else’s art without posting a picture? You might post a thumbnail that crops a preview of the piece; if the piece has a title, you might use that; you might describe it; or you might say something like “this piece by [artist]”, and link to the source.

- What if I found a fanart on Google? Try to find the original source using reverse search image.

- What if I can’t still find it, can I just say “credit to the artist”? In that case, please just don’t share the piece.

- What if I know the artist but don’t have a link to the original source? Naming the artist and linking back to where you found it is okay, in that case.

💕 Can I write for canon/Legends and include other pairings?

All canons, time periods, headcanons and AUs are welcome, and you’re allowed to include side pairings, except for R*eylo. However, keep in mind that this is a Han/Leia appreciation week - at the risk of sounding repetitive, works should focus on appreciating Han and Leia’s relationship!

💕 What’s the time zone for the event?

Please don’t worry too much about time zones: when we say “day”, we always mean “whenever that day is for you in your part of the world”. IE: if it’s Monday for you, you can post your work for the Monday prompt.

💠 💠 💠

Do you have any other questions? Don’t hesitate to send us an ask or to message one of the mods: @lajulie24 @hanorganaas and @otterandterrier

We can’t wait to see what you all create!

Several small BatFam notes

@moss-covered-thoughts (I'm answering questions and providing information for DPxDC fans.)

lol don't worry about it! Nothing about you talking about your fic will make me feel left out! I'm just happy to help you out with your work! If anything will make me feel left out, it's the lack of rogues content and people within this fanspace underutilizing Vlad and not having much of that juicy, juicy polycule content (specifically Vlad/Jack/Maddie) that I keep coming back to Danny Phantom for. :p Speaking of, I want to be as transparent as I can with the information I'm giving out, because just like all comics fans, I'm not an expert on everything and I am very much in my own specific niche and haven't read everything out there! I'm actually not much of a Batfam fan and am much MUCH more of a rogues fan! (Specifically my hyperfixation is focused around Harvey Dent and Two-Face.) So while I do have some information about the members of the batfamily, my knowledge isn't nearly as comprehensive as someone who's deep dived into that part of the DC universe! I'll give you the information I can, and hopefully someone with more cohesive Batfam knowledge can reblog this post with extra notes to fill in the holes I have in my knowledge. >.<

Adoption Order

So I can't tell you the specific specifics of adoption specifically, but I believe that the order of each member joining the Bat Family would probably be along the lines of: Dick Grayson -> Barbara Gordon -> Jason Todd -> Tim Drake -> Cassandra Cain -> Stephanie Brown -> Damian Wayne -> Duke Thomas.

Batgirl and Duke recs

Again, I haven't read much Bat Family stuff because my primary focus is on the rogues. But I do have a handful of recs! If you're willing to watch a long-ass video instead of reading, I would actually highly recommend Linkara's retrospective on Cassandra Cain and here's the link to said video! It's very good and goes into just about every major comic appearance she was in at the time of the video first coming out (in 2019)! You will get a very good image of her character from that, I like Linkara's analysis, and by watching that video, you will definitely be able to come away from it with a number of recommendations for both Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown! (He does talk about Steph some in this video, but it's limited.)

Speaking of Stephnie I'm sorry to say that I don't really have any recommendations for Steph as I sadly have just not really happened to come across any works that have her in them in my poking around in different comics and related media. But honestly, while I can't give you any recs for Steph, maybe you should toss Linkara (@atopfourthwall) a message! He's actually a decently active Tumblr user and given that he wants to do a different retrospective on Stephanie Brown, certainly he would have things to recommend!

As for other Cass reccomendations... The only thing I have in my back pocket is Spirit World. It's not about her, it's a solo series about the brand spanking new character, Xanthe Zhou, but Cass IS a main character in it, and people seem genuinely happy with what they did with her in that story!

If you're looking for good Barbra Gordon content... Well... Personally I would recommend giving her episodes in Batman: the Animated series or the issues that include her in The Batman Adventures a look-see...? It's always a solid time with her around in B:TAS, or in the Batman Adventures! They characterize her very well in those serieses!

If you want both a Cass and a Barbra suggestion... Maybe check out No Man's Land...? Asking you to read all of the comics that were part of that saga might be a little much, but there is a novel adaptation of the No Man's Land storyline out there, and personally I listened to the reading of that novel as done by Graphic Audio and it is genuinely excellent! Like, the marketing may be tacky, but it is on the level of quality as something like an audio drama podcast or a Big Finish Audio. It just happens to be a book reading. :p But No Man's Land IS where Cass was first introduced, (also where Harley Quinn joined the comics universe fun fact!) and it has plenty of good moments from Barbara in it too!

As for Duke... Honestly, if you aren't already reading the Wayne Family Adventures, then you really ought to. >.< That series is available for free on webtoon and the first several strips have him as the main character before it becomes more of an ensemble cast thing. (And in case you were wondering it IS official DC media!) >.< I also haven't read much of Duke's stuff, and so in terms of his backlog, I really don't know what to recommend. The one story that I did happen to read that heavily featured Duke... Was "My Own Worst Enemy" (it's like volume 1 of All-Star Batman) which was... Fine...??? Like, as a Two-Face and Harvey Dent story, it was pretty bad and ablest in how it portrayed Harvey's DID. (But this isn't necessarily unusual for books that include him... SIIIIIGH!) But it was also incredibly stupid and fun, and had a lot of good forwards momentum and offered a number of interesting ideas that I don't entirely hate! So overall I find it... Fine... But as a Duke story... Honestly it's not bad as far as a Duke story can go! And the back-up story for that little arc (the Cursed Wheel) was pretty alright too! I do feel like after I read My Own Worst Enemy that I did understand Duke just a little better as a character! So while it's not good... You might find it to be decent in what you're looking for...? Because I really cannot speak on any other stories he's been in. >.<

So uh... Sorry about my whole limited perspective thing... But I do hope that you find some of this useful at least! I wish you the best of luck in your writing endeavors!

for fic recs: any fics that are just G1 level of Shenanigans™? anything else is dealer's choice

Oh, I like this enough I'll do a couple on-theme just for you, anon! Love that.

First one: a bunch of the fics by @sroloc--elbisivni in their "Spontaneous Earth" universe fit this bill. And I will always recommend every one of those fics to any G1 liker anyway so let me shill the whole lot for a sec. This is a fic universe that turns the G1 cartoon verse into something fantastic and coherent and engaging while still drawing in a very real way on the actual source material (in a way most G1-ish fic is reluctant to, given how silly G1 is).

Within that series I can specifically recommend *deep breath* "Solo with obbligato accompaniment of two voices in canon, and six short inventions on the subjects of the solo". This is a fic about Spike buying his own car and Bumblebee being very jealous. It is fantastic. And very funny. A+ weird robot car culture clash nonsense.

OK, so outside that whole series, let's have a standalone rec too.

The Poetry Incident, or, How Soundwave Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Megatron is G1 inflected but also kind of a mix with other continuities like Aligned. But listen. I am gripping your shoulders. Look at me. Listen to me. This is the only fic I have ever read that realises the COMEDIC POTENTIAL of Megatron/Soundwave. It is my favourite MegaSound fic of all time because it understands they are a slapstick romcom waiting to happen. This motherfucker GETS IT. Please read this one. It's peak "Soundwave is morosexual and Megatron is his ideal man" content.

July 2024 Monthly Fic Recs

I branched out this month and sought out fics from a couple of different fandoms that I don't normally delve into.

I hope you like them as much as I did.

Enjoy!

Many of these blogs and fics are NSFW-18+. Please honor any requests from a blog regarding no minors. I am not responsible for the content you choose to consume; heed the warnings for each fic.

~Lucifer~

Are You Trying to Tempt Me, Detective? ~ @idabbleincrazy. Author's Summary: None (Drabble; Lucifer x Chloe)

~Supernatural~

A Helping Hand ~ @deanwanddamons. Author's Summary: Dean is tired after a hunt, so asks Sammy to drive Baby. You and Dean cuddle up in the back seat.

Bunker Board Games ~ @supernaturallyedsheeran. Author's Summary: You’ve been stuck too long in the Bunker with Dean - and when he finds some old board games, he takes it to a whole other level.

Just Right ~ @kaleldobrev. Author's Summary: Dean hates when you’re sick. Not only can he not kiss his best girl without the possibility of getting sick himself. But you also can’t make one of his favorite things to start off his day: his morning coffee.

Otherverse ~ @luci-in-trenchcoats. Author's Summary: After stepping through the rift, Dean and the reader find themselves in an entirely different universe altogether. Monsters don’t exist, everyone they’ve ever lost is alive and there is some strange dynamic going on with everyone. Luckily they’ve run into themselves to help them out…

~Triple Frontier~

Puppy Dog Eyes ~ @navybrat817. Author's Summary: Will feels betrayed by someone he thought was his ally.

~On Patreon~

Rebekah Jordan (Impala-Dreamer)

I Ain't Ready To Go ~ Author's Summary: Some boundaries are hard not to cross…

The Fragile Heart ~ Author’s Summary: After returning home from filming a movie in Europe, Jensen fights to control himself and Y/N keep safe. Unfortunately, lust is hard to fight and hunger even more so…

When I Think About You ~ Author's Summary: None

thinkinghardhardlythinking

Close to Home-Parts 17-18 ~ Author’s Summary: Y/N and Dean are neighbours, and friends. The thing is Dean is a ladies’ man and she has always known it, if he wasn’t, maybe he’d be the ideal guy…but his eye for the ladies, how well they work as friends, as well as the fact that he’d never even think of her that way, all means that they are meant to be just neighbours and friends. Doesn’t it?

Rants under the read more

zhongli/Sung Jinwoo: its ok, Solo Leveling after-story extras doesnt exist, Solo Leveling after-story extras cant hurt you like it hurt me. Sung Jinwoo, after becoming mostly-not-human at the end of the novel, essentially immortal and self-proclaimed protector of the entire earth, I think should fuck the 6000 year old retired dragon god Zhongli. Like, I think they can get along. Honestly that's mostly it. They're both like, these serious authority figure type of guys who just want to chill and I think they have a similar sense of humor. also i'm half-convinced zhongli will find jinwoo's death aesthetic hot, old guy's ex-boyfriends (not canon) all have their own corruption arcs (canon) and hey at least with sung jinwoo his '''corruption arc''' is just him becoming death itself so like, win-win?? what was I talking about.. anyway ship Zhongli/Sung Jinwoo for the fun times thank you <3

Mirage/V2: they've never met. one of them isn't even canon. their AO3 tag has 6 works in it. I do not take the word OTP lightly, I will die on this hill.

Mirage (she/any) is a spoof character from a noncanonical visual novel-themed secret level about nihilism and V2 (it/they/any) is a twice-recurring game boss whose story ends in it being irrevocably crushed into paste (fell off a pyramid) by its predecessor V1.

because they're barely even in the same game much less have any canon connection, the ship primarily exists because of Dream's End Come True, a fairly popular fanwork that isn't ship-focused but it's the first thing that put them together. like a sort of... very tiny big bang for a barely relevant pairing. and then it grew from there! you can read it at which is a real URL to a real webpage I stg. or just search it on google idc. I do not know if you're an adult so I won't rec 18+ fics but any of the fics in the ao3 tag are well-written :) (a couple of them are mine too lol)

as for the pairing itself: two robots. one fake (yet alive) machine, lonely from living in her world devoid of narrative significance. she was never meant to die. one real (yet dead) machine, lonely from lack of purpose in a harsh, dead hell. it was never meant to live. and then they kiss! they both need the company and mirage's more human mannerisms and joy of monologuing contrast in a really cute way with V2's robotic nature and ability to listen. they're cute. i like them more than anyone on this earth. put them in this poll. MV2 SWEEP REAL

I’m seeing your stories again all through my dashboard. People finding out about the underrated Frankie.

It’s been decided. No more catfish. He is now officially known as ………

Frankie “Big Dick” Morales😈😈😈😈

lol🥴🫣

Ahahaha... Hell Yeah! 'Big Dick' Morales for the win!! <3

🚁📏🍆

Thank you, love, for the support and for making me laugh!! 😁🥰

Alas, as much as I wish I could take credit for the idea, I definitely was not the first to envision Frankie as a big boy.

Here's some of my other favorite 'BD' Frankie stories:

Coming Home by  @astroboots  (the first part of her Frankie x reader x Santi Homecoming ‘verse which was the inspiration for In the Still of the Night)

Weeknights by @frannyzooey​ (this entire series is so, so good, and once things heat up in ch 3: Wednesday it’s hot like fucking FIRE)

Behind the Raindrops by @jazzelsaur (a long, sometimes painful read, but an absolutely fantastic one; there's some exceptionally hot solo action in ch 8.1.1, and then Frankie’s BD officially joins the group chat ‘round about ch 13)

Moving Day by @adverbedly​ (also Frankie x reader x Santi; possibly the og BD Frankie, or at least the first one I remember reading)

Wild Things by @charnelhouse​ (charnie has so freakin’ many fantastic fics featuring ‘BD’ Frankie, but I think this one just might be my favorite of hers)

These are just the ones I could remember off the top of my head (well okay, I had to phone a friend because I have the memory of a goldfish--thanks, cici!), but I'm sure I've missed a bunch!

Anyone else have any 'Big Dick' Frankie recs to share? 👀👀

Fic: Not Smart, Very Stupid Games

(Part of @astroboots​' Homecoming ‘verse )

Fandom:  Triple Frontier Pairing:  Santiago Garcia x F reader (x Frankie Morales) Length:  7.5k words Rating: Explicit 🔞 Warnings:  This fic contains explicit sexual content including male masturbation, getting caught, orgasm delay/edging (both accidental and intentional), a handjob and some mild fem dom within a poly relationship. Also mentions oral sex, p-in-v sex, m/m/f threesome shenanigans and a homemade sex tape. 

Summary: Santiago Garcia is not the most patient man, but that doesn’t mean he can’t learn… right?

Notes: This story takes place in ‘boot’s spectacular Homecoming ‘verse. Her reader is taller than Santiago but should otherwise be a blank slate (please let me know if I botched this). Set at some point after the events of Play stupid games win stupid prices, which are referenced here. You don’t need to read that (or any of HC) to understand this, but why wouldn’t you!? It’s absolutely amazing!

Not Smart, Very Stupid Games

[ twp’s Masterlist | HC Series Masterlist ]

“There is a file in your documents folder named ‘sex tape’,” Santi says into the phone, running a hand over his jaw as he stares at the file in question, “Please tell me that is not our actual sex tape?”

“Of course it is. What else would it be?” you respond distractedly, tone ever-so-slightly indignant in the way that says you don’t see what the problem is.

“You can’t just–” He breaks off, massaging his temples in a futile effort to rub out some of the tension building behind his eyes. “Cariño, that’s a huge security risk. Anyone could just waltz right in and click play.”

He suits actions to words, sliding the pointer over to double click the file. The player opens, and then he’s looking at an image of you climbing into Frankie’s lap.

Shit. He’s going to have to encrypt this.

My #1 post of 2022

Fic: In the Still of the Night

Fandom: Triple Frontier Pairing: Frankie Morales x F reader Length: 8.7k Rating: Explicit like whoa for sex stuff

Warnings: this fic contains explicit sexual content including male masturbation, edging, accidental (and then intentional) voyerism, overstimulation, and unprotected p-in-v sex within an established relationship with some soft femdom and swtichy overtones. May inspire unrealistic expectations.

Summary: Frankie “Big Dick (Bigger Libido)” Morales wakes up in the middle of the night wanting you.

Notes:  Please be aware that I’m not even close to joking about this Frankie having a big dick and an even bigger sex drive.  I’ve tried to play it straight (and hopefully sexy) for purposes of this fic, but be prepared to suspend your disbelief a little (we’re officially in “refractory period? what refractory period?” land, folks)

In the Still of the Night

It’s the middle of the night when Frankie jolts awake, his pulse thudding away in his ears, arousal clenched like a fist in his gut.

Get your Tumblr 2022 Year in Review →

[hanleiacelebration]

Han/Leia Appreciation Week 2023

Han/Leia Appreciation Week is an event originally hosted at @han-leia-solo between 2016-2019. Last year, and with their permission, we decided to host it at @hanleiacelebration!

Since Beth Revis' "The Princess and the Scoundrel" was released on August 16th, 2022, we thought it'd be fun to mark the date as the anniversary of Han and Leia's wedding 🥰 And since this year is also the 40th anniversary of "Return of the Jedi", you'll see prompts related to both of those things!

💗 How does the Han/Leia Appreciation Week work?

The event will run from August 13th to August 19th, and there will be two different prompts each day that creators can fulfill with: fanfic, fanart, gifsets, graphics, fanvids, headcanons, crafts, playlists, rec lists. You’re encouraged to tag your posts with #hanleiaweek2023 so we can reblog them! After the week is over, we'll also share a masterlist with links to the works.

You can show your appreciation in many ways; however, please keep in mind that it has to be a creation of yours of some sort, e.g. don’t repost other people’s fanart, gifs, or unedited pictures. Rec lists should include a link to the original source both for fanfic and fanart (more on this after the cut).

💫 The prompts

Sunday 8/13: Anniversary / Memory

Monday 8/14: Endor / Reunion

Tuesday 8/15: Rescue / Vision

Wednesday 8/16: Favourite scene / Quote

Thursday 8/17: Battle couple / Millennium Falcon

Friday 8/18: AU / Canon divergence

Saturday 8/19: Free day!

You can use only one of the daily prompts, combine both, reinterpret them, or skip the day if you can’t think of anything. If you’re not able to post on the same day for a prompt, you’re still encouraged to share it through the week—just don’t post works for a certain prompt before the day corresponding to that prompt.

💠 💠 💠

FAQs and Rules under the cut - please read!

💗 Can I post my work to another site and share the link on Tumblr?

Yes! This is a good option for people who might want to create explicit art that could be taken down on Tumblr, write a long fic or multichapter, or make videos or playlists.

💗 Does it have to be a new creation? Can I finish and post a WIP?

It has to be something that has never been posted anywhere else before, so finishing and sharing a WIP is okay! If it doesn’t fit any of the prompts, you can share it on Free Day.

💗 Is this event open to all ratings?

Yes! Just remember to use a “Read more” cut if you’re posting the whole work on Tumblr, and to add a note at the top if your work is rated Mature or Explicit, as well as if it has any major trigger warnings, so all folks can safely browse through the entries.

💗 Are there any length or quality requirements?

There’s no min. or max. length for fanfic or quality level for art, but please note that AI-generated works won't be accepted. For gifsets, there’s a minimum of two gifs (that must be made by you!). For playlists, there’s a minimum of five songs. For rec lists of fic or fanart, there’s also a minimum of five recs. Some more questions you might have about rec lists:

- How do I share someone else's art without posting a picture? You might post a thumbnail that crops a preview of the piece; if the piece has a title, you might use that; you might describe it; or you might say something like “this piece by [artist]”, and link to the source.

- What if I found a fanart on Google? Try to find the original source using reverse search image.

- What if I can’t still find it, can I just say “credit to the artist”? In that case, please just don’t share the piece.

- What if I know the artist but don’t have a link to the original source? Naming the artist and linking back to where you found it is okay, in that case.

💗 Is the event based on "The Princess and the Scoundrel"?

Not really! That's just an excuse to celebrate Han/Leia 😊 You don’t need to include or acknowledge it in any way in your creations, although you’re welcome to.

💗 Can I write for canon/Legends and include other pairings?

All canons, time periods, headcanons and AUs are welcome, and you're allowed to include side pairings, except for R*eylo. However, keep in mind that this is a Han/Leia appreciation week - at the risk of sounding repetitive, works should focus on appreciating Han and Leia's relationship!

💗 What's the time zone for the event?

Please don't worry too much about time zones: when we say "day", we always mean "whenever that day is for you in your part of the world". IE: if it's Monday for you, you can post your work for the Monday prompt.

💠 💠 💠

Do you have any other questions? Don’t hesitate to send us an ask or to message one of the mods: @lajulie24 @hanorganaas and @otterandterrier

We can’t wait to see what you all create!

Complicated Creation by Elemental

Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.

Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.

Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

The Dark Below by DarthPeezy

(mature) (graphic depictions of violence, major character death)

Izuku must learn his place in a broken and cruel world. He must learn the cost of being a hero. He must learn the cost of changing the world to his own image. In a world divided by factions vying for control, oppressive governments, and sympathetic villains, Izuku must decide his place amongst the chess pieces. He'll have to decide what to make of the broken dreams and shattered faith of an indifferent world. He'll need the power to rise above the mire and muck of despair.

Thankfully, he was never quirkless.

Sometimes quirks hide until they are triggered. Izuku tasted death and found it lacking, every flavour bitter and lacking spice. In the moments between death and life, he gazed into the howling abyss and it followed him home. Everything he thought he knew about the world is a lie. There are monsters lurking in the dark below, always waiting and always watching.

They wait patiently, waiting for one to sit upon a throne of crystal madness and eternal suffering. They have waited for aeons and will wait until the end of eternity.

They wait for Izuku Midoriya.

Vampire Bats by Sohotthateveryonedied

Despite the many, many obstacles, having his kids turn into vampires isn’t as tragic as Bruce anticipated it would be. Whenever one of them is grounded, all Bruce has to do is hang a cross on their door and they’re sufficiently contained. And the energy boost has been incredibly helpful on patrols.

bela lugosi's dead by TheResurrectionist

Small towns seem even smaller when you’re trying to hide. When the entire family can’t keep a secret, Bruce Wayne--struggling vampire dad--finds out that they’re basically microscopic.

“So, since there aren’t as many deer near the town this year, the state’s giving out individual buck tickets.” Jim said. “The seasonal hunters spoke with me, and we were hoping you could, uh,” he looked away, clearly uncomfortable with the subject matter. “...stick to the does until November.”

“Stick to the does.” Bruce repeated, raising his eyebrows. “Yeah, uh.” he drew up short, struggling to form a response. “Uh huh, I think we could definitely, uh...do that.”

Ways to Hunt by Skalidra

(explicit)

The first time Slade sees the mer, the beast is trapped. Tangled up in a fishing ship's net and lying on the deck in front of him, shrieking and hissing at anyone who even thinks of coming near. Slade's hunted enough mers to be cautious, but also enough to not let the boy scare him. The first order of business is to get the mer the hell off the ship.

More Precious Than Gold by Drag0nst0rm

Most dragons sleep on their hoards.

Bruce's hoard sleeps on him.

Or: Bruce is a dragon. Predictably, he hoards orphans.

mdzs

brave new world by Quixiote

There is magic still hidden within the world, if one were to look. Sometimes it comes to you on the breeze. Sometimes it comes to you after much searching. For Wei Ying, it comes to him in the form of a inquisitive six year old picking up a ribbon.

Or, the co-habitation saga of a single father, his son, and a shape-shifting seal prince.

there & there & there, the sea by bleuett

(mature)

When Wei Wuxian puts these pieces together, this is what he gets: there is a village to the south of Yunmeng. It can only be found by walking the border of the ocean until you reach it. It’s possible you may not find it. There is something special in this village. Something that allows them to create a remedy that will heal any illness.

——————————

Wei Wuxian goes searching for a cure and long lost memories in a village where things are not what they seem.

this river runs to you by sundiscus

Framed by the soft morning light, sleek hair swept back and pale blue robes not even slightly rumpled, he looks almost inhuman.

He looks like the last person who should be knocking on Wei Wuxian’s door.

In which Wei Wuxian is a curse worker secretly searching for a lost dragon, Lan Wangji is his new assistant, and the two things may not be entirely unrelated.

A Good Enough Reason by Zeebie

(explicit)

Lan Zhan allows Wei Ying to take his finger into his mouth and suckle for a moment. Wei Ying’s tongue curls against and around him like a dog with a spoon of peanut butter, and Lan Zhan’s chest grows warm with contentment. Then Wei Ying starts to bite down. Lan Zhan pulls his finger away and uses the same hand to slap Wei Ying, open-handed, across the face.

--

When Wei Ying feels too monstrous and out of control, Lan Zhan helps him.

Iridescent by hypermoyashi

(mature) (graphic depictions of violence)

It seems that, when it came to saving one another, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian were growing to be experts.

Or the one where Xie Lian is a mermaid, and Hua Cheng grows up to be the most notorious ghost pirate who happens to reside in Xie Lian's cove. Purely by coincidence.

a kind of guilt by parsnipit

(mature)

“Alright, alright,” Xie Lian amends hastily, “but it’s just a little pinch. It can’t hurt that bad. It’s not any worse than what we sometimes do in bed, when you—” “Gege!” Hua Cheng looks really aggrieved, now. “How can it be the same?” “Because you’re doing what I want,” Xie Lian says, trying dutifully to ignore the heat creeping across his face. “Would it help if I ordered you? If San Lang didn’t have a choice?”

Hua Cheng and Xie Lian are trapped and starving; the solution, to Xie Lian, seems obvious. Hua Cheng disagrees.

Wasting Away by UmbraSoleil

(explicit)

The floating island-esque heaps of human refuse that made up Xie Lian’s home were an attractive spot for astray sea life. Even more so, they were a place where Xie Lian—a castaway scavenger merman—could live out the rest of his days undisturbed and alone. Certainly, it was an unluxurious and physically taxing lifestyle, but apart from the occasional tremor in his fins and the swelling ache in his gut, Xie Lian didn’t have any complaints.

That was until Xie Lian attracted the attention of a particularly nosy human.

A human who…Xie Lian can’t help but suspect…

…is trying to court him…?

fear is the monster you forgot to flee from (fear is the monster that won't let you go)

Jin-Woo reawakens. But he reawakens… wrong. Different. Changed. Monstrous.

(Some do not see it. Others do and are rightfully afraid. And then there are those who are afraid and still want it. They want it, until they cannot live without it, and Woo Jin-Chul finds that he is terribly susceptible to the latter.)

the very long, very random list of underrated fics that no one asked for and yet i’ve complied anyway

 (really, it really is very long. i apologize to anyone who doesn’t actually give a fuck, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Naruto

Diplomatic Relations by Maldoror_Chant [E, Gaara/Rok Lee, 162k, Complete]

Rock Lee, Diplomatic Envoy to Sunagakure. There are so many ways that could go wrong. But Lee is determined to succeed! And to befriend the feared Kazekage too, while he's at it. Good thing Lee loves a challenge...

Homemade Dynamite by Misfit_McCoward [T, Deidara/Itachi, 75k, WIP]

“I mean,” Deidara growls, “you’re you from the future.”

“Of course I am,” Itachi says, like Deidara is a bit slow.

“And I’m me from the future,” Deidara continues, feeling a bit hysterical. Whatever Itachi did with the chakra nexus on the forbidden island, it ended with both of them traveling through time. “What the F––,” Deidara yells, and then tries to punch Itachi in the face again.

OR: Deidara unwillingly signs up for Itachi's personal time-travel fix-it fic.

Plasticity by Misfit_McCoward [T, Gen, 135k, WIP]

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes the immortal leader of a cult tries to summon the god of death and gets you instead. ‘Not dying’ just got a lot more complicated than ‘follow chemlab safety instructions.’ A tongue-in-cheek, Akatsuki-centric SI/OC.

How to Make a Team by Pleasedial123 [Series, Gen, 89k, WIP]

In one world, Kakashi awoke, felt grieved at being assigned a team he sees his own in, and he let that grief make him a lazy teacher. He saw himself in Sasuke, Obito in Naruto, and Rin in Sakura. He woke, saw himself in them, and took a large step back, regretting accepting them as his new team. In another world he was quite hands off, merely a watcher because it was so very painful to watch. He saw himself and all his mistakes in this new team of his.

In this world, Kakashi awoke, saw the similarities, and instantly panicked. He suddenly realized what he had done, passing a team. Kakashi was left scrambling not to repeat old mistakes and regrets. This team would not suffer the fate of his team.

In this world, simply put, Kakashi became a teacher. This is the starting of a new Team seven.

half a league (until the valley of death) by SpectersShadow117 [T, Gen, 28k, WIP]

Kakashi can think of no reason for Sasuke's inexplicable and drastic change in behavior. He doesn't like the desperate, haunted gleam in his student's eyes, and he also doesn't like the nagging feeling that he's missing something very important.

Aka: Future Sasuke goes to Past Sasuke and gives him a reality check with Specific Intentions, but as with most Uchiha, his methods leave much to be desired.

(Featuring: Childhood trauma FTW, Konoha's shitty care of orphans, and absolutely no one having a fun time.)

My Fair Madara, or, Chouji The Genius Wrangler by greenkangaroo [G, Series, Chouji/Madara, 22k, WIP]

When Chouji's soulmark disappeared in his youth, he didn't worry much about it- he had other things on his mind.

Then a war happened and roundabout the same time, Chouji's soulmark came back.

And he realized he needed to worry. A lot.

Rasa and The Cat by greenkangaroo [G, Series, Gen, 15k, WIP]

Kankuro opens his eyes to find he’s years into his past. Yashamaru’s still alive, Gaara hasn’t lost his mind, and one devious puppeteer is determined to change the face of his personal history, even if it means becoming his own teacher. Now all he has to do is keep his face hidden, convince Lord Rasa the Fourth Kazekage that he’s worth having around, and prevent his little brother from becoming a bloodthirsty maniac. Easy. It’s showtime.

with friends like these by RecklessWriter [T, Gen, 38k, WIP]

“I’m from the future—seven years in the future.”

There’s a long, drawn-out silence. Itachi’s face is unreadable as he stares at Sasuke.

“You’re what?” he finally says.

Sasuke travels back in time to stop the war. He infiltrates the Akatsuki in order to kill them - he doesn't expect to take a page out of Naruto's book and befriend them instead.

Worm Charming by GremlinSR [M, Gen(ish), 105k, WIP]

After Minato's death, Shikaku is thrust into a position he never expected and certainly never wanted. It isn't long before he discovers a wealth of corruption and sabotage that threatens the very foundation of the village he is sworn to protect. Using every ounce of his famous Nara intellect and cunning, Shikaku struggles to outmaneuver hidden enemies in order to keep his village and family safe.

Or: A for want of a nail story in which Nara Shikaku becomes Hokage after Minato’s death and promptly turns everything on its head.

Paper Skin by Anjelle [T, Gen, 36k, Complete]

Kakashi is missing. He's not the first child to have disappeared, only the latest, but Sakumo will make sure that he will be the last. He's failed his village too many times. He won't fail his son. Sakumo will find Kakashi and bring him home, no matter how long it takes or what he has to do.

But it's not Kakashi that he finds.

guess your trajectory by ohwickedsoul [T, Iruka/Kakashi, 34k, WIP]

That’s a fucking kid, is the first thing that Iruka thinks.

That’s the fucking jinchuriki, is the second.

The first thought comes back, even stronger, overwhelming him with outrage, with fury, with a sick sort of disgust, and now it comes out as a shouted,

“That’s a fucking kid.”

Fullmetal Alchemist

groundwork days by Nonymos [M, Breda/Havoc, 58k, Complete]

After the Ishbal War, Roy Mustang starts assembling a squad.

tciddaemina - actually a very nuanced and compelling story about what it must have been like living and working within the corruption of the amestrian military, giving the inside perspective on the coup. also 5 star characterization. it’s sequel, even the nameless, is just as good, performing a one of a kind character study of scar.

Leading the Blind by Tierfal [M, Ed/Roy, 31k, Complete]

Roy adjusts to a life of legal blindness, and Edward avenges three years of short jokes.

Button Up Your Overcoat by Skinner [E, Ed/Roy, 139k, Complete]

Ed could untie knots in the fifth and sixth dimensions -- blindfolded. He could convince the military he fell through a rabbit-hole, and he could even shut down a Drachman invasion (with a little help), but he can't seem to avoid dating Roy Mustang (and maybe is kind of okay with that). But here's hoping they can collar a General trying to trigger a three-way war, and that they can stop him before he destroys the world.

A:TLA

no grave (can hold my body) by ZenzaNightwing [T, Gen, Series, 176k, WIP]

(He screamed toward the moon, they murmur, it’s a sign)

(The sun set on him, others scoff, it’s a sign)

Prince Zuko is born into rumor and bloodshed. He is raised in flames and scars.

Sozin's Comet is coming again, for Earth instead of Air, and Agni will not let it pass lightly. Not without intervention.

salt and ashes by RakshaTheDemon, ultranos [T, Gen, Series, 167k, WIP]

In which Ozai is a little more forward-thinking, Zuko is the favored child, and Azula draws the short straw.

The world tilted a little sideways.

Guiding Instinct by Depths [T, Gen, 29k, WIP]

Ran and Shaw entrusted the last of their species to Iroh, and Iroh to Zuko.

Who became, abruptly, very, very invested.

Equivalent Exchange by Haicrescendo [T, Gen, 11k, Complete]

Lu Ten makes a promise, Lu Ten dies. Lu Ten comes back.

Hollow Knight

Until Dawn Shall Break by ruthlesslistener [M, Gen(ish), 142k, WIP]

To vanquish a plague of dreams, one requires a vessel born of void- a body without a mind, scoured of all the weaknesses and sins that cripple the living. The Old Light must not escape and for this, one requires a vessel with no mind to think, no will to break, no voice to cry suffering.

Of these damnable traits, the Hollow Knight is free of only one. After living a life of deception, knighted with a title emptier than it could ever be, all it can do now is hold tight to its duty and weather a war it was never supposed to be conscious for.

One impurity is all that it takes.

The Pure Vessel makes a grievous error.

The Radiance falls.

tciddaemina - god tier, one of the best stories i’ve ever read. anyone who skips this one is missing something in their life

Deeply Whelved by Depths [T, Gen(ish), 17k, WIP]

The capacity for selfish desire has always been within the vessels.

Ghost, ascended, grants Hollow a wish born through void-blessed defiance: Return to a time forgotten.

Save the Hollow Knight.

Witcher

By Any Other Name by FledglingQueen [T, Series, Jaskier/Geralt 57k, WIP]

Jaskier had not noticed that he was falling apart until he found himself looking into Geralt’s golden eyes and realized that he had no defense.

“I don’t play for the dead,” he said. Geralt’s gaze held him fast. His heart sped and he wondered if the Witcher could hear it. He wondered if Geralt knew the exhilaration and terror that burned the dread away like flame to oil. “Not anymore.

tciddaemina - A fey jaskier fic, crossover with Spinning Silver

Come by it Honestly by ladyshadowdrake [M, Crossover MDZS, Geralt/Jaskier, Lan Zhan/Wei Ying, 25k, complete]

“You’ve been summoned, like some kind of—of demon, to a different world before and you never told me?” Jaskier hissed, shoving his shoulder hard enough to make him jolt forward. “Seems like the kind of thing that you might have shared, Geralt!”

“Never came up,” Geralt said through his teeth. Across from them, the sorcerer and the necromancer were growing more tense as Jaskier’s voice rose. They seemed to be engaged in a far more quiet disagreement of their own, the sorcerer firmly keeping the necromancer behind him, while the necromancer held his arm and continued to gesture in Jaskier’s direction.

“Oh!” Jaskier said with a noisy explosion of air. “It never came up! I’m so sorry I never thought to ask you if you’d been summoned to another world before! I’ll add that to my ‘getting to know you’ rotation. Where did you grow up, what do you do for a living, hey! Have you ever been summoned to another world before?”

(when you can’t seem) to shake the weight of living by WingedQuill [M, Geralt/Jaskier/Yennefer, 34k, WIP]

Geralt's muscles heave backwards, flinging him down against the bed. He tries to struggle upwards but it feels like he’s been buried beneath a mountain. Every inch of him is pressed completely still. His eyes close, and he’s left in the dark with nothing but his racing heart for company. He’s not tired, he’s never been less tired. But the curse wants him to sleep, it seems. It’ll force him to lie here until he does. How much of his life will it start to control, now that he’s declared war against it? Now that he knows it’s lurking in his bones, now that it doesn’t have to be subtle?

He swallows. Takes a long, deep breath, gathering every bit of courage he has to stop himself from slipping back into panic. He still has control over his lungs. He still has that.

For now.

(Or: Witchers don't retire. They stay on the Path until it kills them. They hunt monsters and they want nothing from life. This isn't exactly by choice.)

tciddaemina - this fic is amazing and beautiful but also completely fucking horrifying. if lack of automony and mind control is a thing that fucks you up, approach this with care. it is heavy

Untamed/MDZS

like speaking to my heart by Rhymeswithtessa, SnowshadowAO3 [T, Lan Zhan/Wei Ying, 557k, WIP]

Wei Wuxian is staring up at the sky, thinking idly about the taste of Emperor’s Smile on his tongue, when Suibian jumps full force onto his stomach and cries, “A-Xian, don’t be mad!”

The sheer force of her pounce knocks the breath out of him. The resulting pause is just long enough for Jiang Cheng, who up to this point has been laying rather peacefully next to him, to shoot up and demand, “Oh great, what did you do now?”

To be fair, the question isn’t exactly unwarranted. Suibian looks an absolute mess: twigs stuck in her fur, dirt smeared across the white fluff of her underbelly. She’s panting up a storm, little heh heh heh gasps that haven’t edged into her normal high-pitched laughter. When her ears press back against her head, she could almost pass for pitiful.

“Bichen hates me.”

Wei Wuxian’s first thought is Why would Lan Zhan’s daemon hate you?, but it’s followed quickly by remembering exactly where he is, how little trouble he’s caused today, and the fact that he hasn’t seen Suibian for a few minutes.

A grin spreads across his face.

(Or: The most important name a cultivator will ever pick isn’t for their sword. It’s for their daemon.)

No night as deep as my night. by orange_crushed [E, Lan Zhan/Wei Ying, 17k, Complete]

Wangji shuts his eyes and rocks A-Yuan and thinks about Wei Ying, Wei Ying. The sound of his laugh; the rage in his eyes at any cruelty, no matter how small. Water running down his face, mixed with tears and mud in the rain. The smell of his sweat and his combing-oil when he stood too close in the cold spring. His face when he’d said, I’ll carry you, too many years ago. If there is anything left of him, Wangji will still love it. It’s not even a question.

When he opens his eyes all the candles in the room sputter at once, and go out.

And then they come back again, as easily as they were extinguished. Wangji looks up, to find a tall shadow in the doorway.

Wangji is not afraid.

“Wei Ying,” he says. “Come in.”

Aftermath by KouriArashi [T, Jiang Yanli/Jin Zixuan, 57k, Complete]

Jiang Yanli lifted her eyes up to Madam Jin and said, calmly, as if from a hundred miles away, “I am a daughter of the Yu sect. Did he think my mother only taught me how to pour tea?”

Or: the AU in which Jin Guangshan targets Jiang Yanli and she kills him before he can ruin everything.

Temeraire

The Compass by NonBinaryStars [E, Series, Laurence/Tenzing, 163k, WIP]

“The captain was clearly one of those Englishmen who, having acquired a taste for the exotic during his travels and being a gentleman of means, wielded his power over the natives to affect the trappings of a status he had not earned...

...For his own part, Tharkay had long since ceased to draw from the poisoned well the British called love.”

Tharkay and Laurence’s story from Tharkay’s perspective, from Black Powder War through Tongue of Serpents.

tciddaemina - very stunning fic, has some very important stuff to say about gender, racism, and classism. its a perspective we need to see more of really

Resurgence by ladyshadowdrake [E, Laurence/Tenzing, 122k, WIP]

Laurence has successfully hidden as a beta the whole of his adult life. Being discovered as an omega is his worst nightmare next to losing Temeraire, but he will endure the former to avoid the latter.

tciddaemina - BIG chinese culture appreciation in this one, plus an in depth exploration of why ABO culture would be fucking horrifying, complete with digs at britain, if you want to see them dragged a bit in favor of historical china. good historical vibes, immaculate not gross take on ABO

The Life and Times by the_glow_worm [T, Laurence/Tenzing, 33k, WIP]

Prince William, Duke of Avondale, third son of the Prince of Wales, fourth in the line of succession for the British Crown, has always known how he was meant to lead his life; surrounded by protocol, hounded by media, coddled by the state. And, recently, protected by one Tenzing Tharkay.

Harry Potter [trans lives matter]

Percy Take the Wheel by KittySmith [M, Gen, 206k, WIP]

A freak accident with Arthur's enchanted Ford Anglia causes a minor explosion and a major change in the Weasley household. With Arthur in a coma and Molly having passed away, Bill and Charlie can't afford to quit their jobs and must support the family from afar. Thus, it falls to Percy to handle the day-to-day, even if he's not sure that he can.

tciddaemina - if you read one fic from this list, then read this. i literally cannot recommend it highly enough, it is 👌👌

no more bailing boats for me (toss me a heavy rope) by hipsterchrist [E, Draco/George Weasley, 166k, Complete]

“All of this happened because you lost your magic, you know," she says. Draco lets out a small, quiet burst of laughter at the realization.

“God,” he says. “Do you know what? I think it might have been worth it.”

A Dead Man’s Guide to Reliving Your Youth by Spork_in_the_Road [M, Harry/Voldemort, Series, 103k, WIP]

After dying in the forbidden forest at Voldemort's hand--after going to the Kings Cross of his afterlife--Harry is returned to his 11-year-old self with no memories of his life before, just a vague sense of doom and weird knowledge of the wizarding world (and its inhabitants) that he can't quite explain. With only his ever-present sense of deja-vu to guide him into making better choices than last time, Harry embarks on a journey to save the wizarding world once again, and this time save himself as well.

tciddaemina - actually fucking hilarious. this author makes works of art.

fruit loops in time (circle around me) by justprompts [T, Gen(ish), 15k, WIP]

"This is Crabbe, and Goyle," the blonde boy says, pointing at the two boys next to him. "And I'm Malfoy, Draco Ma - "

Ron laughs, and Malfoy immediately bristles.

"Think my name's funny, do you?" Malfoy says, angrily. "No need to ask yours - "

"You're honestly so cute," Ron interrupts, yet again, shaking his head. "So tiny. And so angry, all the time. It's adorable."

Alternatively Ron Weasley, Time Traveller Extraordinaire, is stuck in the same seven year Hogwarts Loop, repeating the same thing over and over again. Naturally, he's so done with everything.

Survival Curve by onepieceofharry [M, Draco/Harry, 30k, WIP]

Lucidity slammed into him like an offended hippogriff. He's shorter because he's younger. Pansy is shrill and sobbing at his hurt like she used to before Draco snapped their bond in a bid to keep her away. Snape is at his side where he should be at the head table, and Pomfrey is fussing where she should be killing.

He had known this only vaguely, where now he knew it true.

His head snapped up and he let himself stare into corpses.

Or

Draco Malfoy goes back in time and promptly falls on his face.

When The Wolf Comes Home by roachpatrol [T, Gen(ish), 40k, WIP]

Through a dark ritual, Draco Malfoy is sent back in time, from his seventeenth year to his eleventh. Now he has the chance to use his superior knowledge and skill to change everything and save all his friends and family, but there's a terrible complication: it turns out that not even time travel can cure a case of lycanthropy.

Hallowed King by SpicyReyes [E, SS/HP, 49k, WIP]

King's Cross Station looks a little different, the second time.

So does the riverbank. So does Sirius, so do the dementors - Hell, even his patronus is different.

Snape, however, is infuriatingly unchanged.

tciddaemina - questionable ship, amazingly executed. wouldn’t have read this if it wasn’t by SpicyReyes, but damn it actually sort of slaps

Absolutely random, but still good:

Sanguine. by jaemyun [E, Word of Honor, Wen Kexing/Zhou Zishu, 122k, Complete]

Zhou Zishu is ready to be done with Tian Chuang. He's ready for his seventh nail, and ready to wander before facing his eighty one brothers with a bowed head in the afterlife. He will do this after, apparently, one last mission that's simply too intriguing to pass up.

The Ghost Valley has sent a letter past its borders, asking to attend the Heroes Conference of the Five Lakes Alliance. The Five Lakes Alliance, unbelievably, has accepted. Both no doubt have hidden intentions, and Prince Jin wants eyes and ears on the scene. Zhou Zishu can't quite bring himself to deny his own ravenous curiosity enough not to accept.

The stunning beauty that shows up with the girls of the Department of the Unfaithful, the one who introduces himself as Wen Kexing, is universally assumed to be a favorite plaything of the yet unseen Ghost Valley Master. His beauty and charm may be enough to captivate all the others into underestimating him, but Zhou Zishu knows a killer's eyes when he sees one. Wen Kexing is a puzzle he'd like to figure out, and Zishu himself can't say he isn't also captivated by dark eyes and a smile that wouldn't be out of place with blood in its teeth.

rage, rage against the dying of the light by Madcap_Miss [T, Word of Honor, Wen Kexing/Zhou Zishu, 82k, Complete]

The thing about pushing people past their limits is that it makes them dangerous.

It is possible that this is a truth Wen Kexing and Xie Wang neglected to account for when making their grand plan.

tciddaemina - aka the one where Zhou Zishu reacts to Wen Kexing’s “death” by deciding to just murder absolutely everyone and gets very, very creative about it. Should probably be rated E for graphic violence, there is some gore here folks. Actually very a cathartic read

A Cornstalk Fiddle by notbecauseofvictories [T, The Devil Went Down to Georgia (Song), Johnny/The Devil, Series, 32k, Complete]

Where Johnny goes, the Devil follows; where Johnny goes, the Devil is already there.

tciddaemina - even ignoring this is fanfiction for a song, this is really a one of a kind fic. there’s something about the author’s way of writing that just gets beneath your skin and is captivating

here in search of your glory by Synoshian [E, The King’s Avatar, Han Wenqing/Ye Xiu, 218k, WIP]

“There’s more than one way to start over.”

tciddaemina - au canon divergence in which ye xiu eventually joins tyranny. immauclate vibes all round

the sealpatico au by fascinationex [T, Transformers, series, 47k, WIP]

Perceptor is a marine scientist working in the Arctic. Brainstorm is a frightfully clever, mammalian polar mermaid. Chromedome and Rewind have a television show on a cable channel where they're supposed to be documenting orcas. This series is heavily focused on the mermaid stuff but we learn about other characters along the way.

tciddaemina - surprisingly fun, also the science is actually very legit 👍

Sands of Time by tirsynni [T, Zelda, Link/Ganondorf, 103k, Complete]

Link awakens in the desert with no idea how he got there, to encounter his worst enemy...except it was the King of the Gerudo, not the King of Evil, he faced.

Jaws That Bite, Claws That Catch by Fistful_of_Gamma_Rays [M, ME:T, Female Shepard/Garrus, 22k, Complete]

It's a long road from from "alien" to "partner."

Red Streak by ThunderheadFred [E, ME:T, Female Shepard/Garrus, 108k, WIP]

During the surrender of Shanxi, ex-Marine Hannah Shepard agrees to parley with the fleet captain of the invading turian Blackwatch. Two decades later, Hannah's daughter Jane lives in the shadow of that infamous truce.

tciddaemina - takes a lot of creative license with worldbuilding and culture, but damn it pays off. really fun and compelling characterization.

and in your rarified air i feel sunblind by going_to_the_sun_road [T, Mushishi, Ginko/Adashino, 10k, Complete]

How strange, Adashino thought to himself, that the lack of something as simple as touch could feel so acutely painful.

He sat slouched on the steps of his porch, his house dark and empty behind him, watching the sky deepen into an indigo dusk over the bay far below, sipping his sake cold. He sighed and leaned his head against the rough wood handrail beside him, feeling incredibly maudlin.

In which Adashino muses on the nature of loneliness and Ginko keeps his secrets close to the chest. Eventual softness and late night revelations.

Vow by TheIllusiveMantis [E, Dark Souls, Nameless King/Ornstein, 127k, Complete, extra warning because very sad]

“Thou shouldst not promise what is utterly outside of thy power, my prince,” his knight scolds him.

“Wouldst thou accept me?”

“And become what? What can I be but thy knight?”

Lord Gwyn makes his firstborn son an offer beyond belief, but it comes at a terrible price.

tciddaemina - unsurprisingly, this fic is a tragedy. all dark souls fics are. really beautiful stunning read, but be prepared for tears at the end. extra kudos for amazing dialogue the whole time

just a broken parable by devilsoupe [M, Husky and his White Cat Shizun, Chu Wanning/Mo Ran, 6k, Complete]

Chu Wanning is the emperor, and Mo Ran is his shadow.

Divine Intervention by RenderedReversed [T, Solo Leveling, Jin-Woo/Song Chi-Yul, 27k, WIP]

Within Cartenon Temple, Jin-Woo dies a human. He comes back a little more divine.

A story of a god and his follower, told in 100-word snippets.

A Live Wire by modeoheim [M, OPM, Genos/Saitama, 39k, WIP]

A lot of heroes are doing it. Amai Mask is doing it - the Blizzard Group is doing it - Metal Bat and Tornado are doing it. The Hero Association says these livestreams are a good way to let the public get to know their saviors more closely and, most importantly, be more likely to donate money. Saitama decides to start streaming out of boredom more than anything else, but it quickly becomes... frankly, with his being the most-hated channel out of them all, and with Genos eventually finding out about it, more trouble than it's worth.
